So you're like my favorite people... Family owned and operated and it shows. You know when your mom's food tasted so good and you could never figure out why? It's because she loved you and made her food with love. These guys LOVE doughnuts and they make them that way. I can get like 14 doughnuts and 3 large iced coffees for what Starbucks would have the 3 coffees. Don't be fooled by the large corporate conglomerates, buy local and support Rainbow. P.S. Bacon Maple Doughnut, you're welcome. read more

The best donuts. Ever. Always! No other donuts compare to Rainbow- you just have to try for yourself.

The donut... Arguably the best of all breakfast pastries, if not the best of all breakfast foods. In this reviewer's opinion, Rainbow Donuts makes some of the best donuts in Phoenix. Their donuts are light and crispy and taste like they were made from scratch instead of culled from a 100lb bag of "donut mix" like the big chains. Highly recommended. read more

Love this place. Staff is friendly and donuts always fresh! they also have great breakfast burritos that I usually favor while I'm there. Just the simple egg and cheese burrito with a side of salsa makes my belly full. It also helps that the staff usually throws a couple of complimentary donut holes to our order each time. :) read more

I love this Rainbow Donuts location. Don't confuse it with some of the other Rainbows around town. It's exceptional. The staff is so friendly and the menu is quite diverse for a donut shop. The breakfast special, a breakfast croissant, donut and coffee, is my order of choice. All wonderful, The granddaughters love the donut selections and the Labradoodle enjoys the patio. The husband often orders scrambled eggs a la carte when he's doing his high protein diet thing. The coffee station is well stocked with a variety of syrups... so you can precisely tailor your coffee to your cravings. The dining room and restroom are always spotless. Service is always fast, even if there's a line, which there often is on the weekends. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I are SO glad we discovered this place. It is 5 miles from our house but worth the drive. The donuts are fresh, great variety, great tasting and inexpensive. SO much better than Dunkin and Krispy Kreme IMHO. read more

my boyfriend found the place, and I love donut shops, i even thought breakfast was a plus, the sweet older gal took my boyfriend's order first and then I gave her my order, the bacon, ham and cheese croissant sandwich. I also added a coffee, for mins later she asked for my order again, then asks what kind of croissant. . . I was really confused, because I didn't see that there were any other kinds of croissants, and then she asked for my order again after i gave it to her a few seconds ago. . . needless to say i was a lil disappointed, but i also heard a lot of beeping which sounds like it came from a microwave, the croissant was warm, but the ham felt really hot. Order up chef Microwave read more

Well let me start by saying these doughnuts are in a word......AWESOME. My favorite aspect of this establishment is that you can buy doughnuts on Monday and Tuesday from 12pm to 6pm for half price. I mean what makes it an incredible deal is that you can get a dozen doughnuts for less than 6 bucks and half a dozen for just under 4 bucks. Now here is the big finish.....despite the fact that they doughnuts sit there all day for sale they still taste just like they did at 5:00 am when they were first made. I mean the primary reason I don't buy doughnuts say after 10:00 am is because they just don't taste as good 2 hours previously. This bakery is the EXACT OPPOSITE......you won't be disappointed at all if you need an afternoon doughnut fix. Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends!!!!! read more

My wife and I love coming here on the weekends for their breakfast special, sausage, egg, and cheese croissant with a donut and a drink for around $6. Sometimes I like to come here during the week for breakfast too but don't tell her that! ;) read more

Seriously...the best donut I've ever had. Once you eat these, grocery store or Dunkin Donuts do not compare. I have been a fan from their first store on Cave Creek and the same sweet owners have opened up this new store where the old Rubio's used to be. I was craving a burrito and noticed the Rainbow Donuts sign and drove right in. Their donuts are fresh, not heavy, big and melt in your mouth. They do have a nice big menu for lunch and dinner and are open until 8pm!! Donuts anytime. I'm so proud of them and that neighborhood just got a kick in the pants. What a great addition! read more

Nice selection of donuts and lunch sandwiches, good coffee and boba tea too! Perfect place to stop by on your way to work!

Delicious amazing perfect doughnuts! Also very impressed with their bagel sandwiches which are super fresh and the bagels are to die for not preservative filled heaviness but light, tasty, mouthwatering.... Hard to find with bagels!! We came here twice from California while visiting fam. Staff is super friendly and customer service is great. Highly recommended. Happy they exist! read more

I would suggest this place the service is good and they get you out quick with a full belly..lol read more

Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches. I placed a large order by phone and it was perfect and ready for me when I got there. My go to.

Great donuts and pastries. Don't overlook their cafe food. Breakfast burrito is awesome as well as their panini sandwiches.

These donuts are amazing. I don't t know what it is about this location but the donuts seem best from here. My kids love going to pick out a donut on a day off from school. It's a great place for a small morning outing. read more

A weekend favorite! They make the best chocolate covered old fashioned donuts! The price is still reasonable for a dozen donuts as well at about $10.00. Their selection is excellent and the staff is friendly. Their donuts are much better than what Dunkin Donuts has to offer. read more

Nice place with great food. I had a breakfast burrito with egg, sausage and cheese, an apple fritter and a pop (the breakfast combo, also available with bacon or on a croissant or bagel). The burrito was delicious. The apple fritter was awesome. If I wasn't so full I would have another one! If I lived around here I would be a regular. The lunch sandwiches on the menu sound great too. The staff person was friendly and brought our burritos to our table for us. read more

I've been to two locations, this one and on off of Cave Creek. Both have great donuts. This location is very friendly and feels less cramped. I don't eat many donuts but when I do, this is the spot. Much better than the large chain places. read more

I love this place on Sunday after church. Doughnuts are fantastic and still warm if you go early! My weekend must now. read more

Awesome donuts! So fresh, moist, delicious! Great selection. Heaviest dozen donuts I ever carried. Friendly staff. Perfection!

Love their sugar donuts as well as their filled donuts! My 6 year old nephew loves any of their donuts that have icing. My older sister says their apple fritters are the best she's ever had. My little sister loves their bear claws! read more

I am so glad we stumbled across this place! My boyfriend and I both unexpectedly got the day off on Easter, and were looking for breakfast. Obviously typical brunch restaurants were out of the question, so we decided to pop in here for donuts. Well, we ended up getting 2 breakfast burritos as well, and thank goodness we did! They were hot and fresh and so filling! We've been back almost every weekend and the food and service are always wonderful. read more

I could not be happier with the service I received at this spot! My husband and I love their cronuts, they are unique and better then any other I have ever have. I decided to have Rainbow Donuts make their cronuts for a large gathering we were hosting and wanted to serve the cronut as dessert. And I will tell you every person fell in love after one bite! We have also ordered sandwiches from here and they are always good and filling, but my love is for donuts and they top the charts! No competition! read more

Donuts and breakfast food are AMAZING. Not to mentions everyone is so nice and helpful. Great way to start your morning!

I don't really seek out donuts but I had a craving for them and my husband took me after Sunday mass two weeks ago. I have to say, they offer a tremendous deal for a really affordable price. I ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon, egg and cheese and it came with a coffee and a donut of my choosing. My husband ordered a bagel sandwich and he also received a coffee and a donut of his choosing. All this for under $15! We'll definitely be going back soon!! read more

So this morning I was minding my own business when out through the windows I see a guy bringing in 3 BOXES of donuts. At that moment in time I had no clue about the gluttony that was about to occur. The receptionist and I both look at each other, we look at the boxes without pause we look for a box that had not been closed properly. Dang, they were all taped up and it was in that moment that I knew I had two choices, 1) walk away 2) break into that mother... you guessed it, without even a pause I broke into that box. Upon opening that box, I saw things I never thought I would. In those boxes were some of the most incredible looking donuts I have ever laid my eyes upon. It was in that moment that I fell in love..... Really, it was that true moment of love at first sight. I knew we were meant for each other. A chocolate covered donut with FRUITY PEBBLES and a single lone Lucky Charms Marshmallow. I can't even begin to describe how delicious that donut was, soft and fluffy like I was almost eating air, sweet but not too sweet and the fruity pebbles and that single marshmallow really just made it so much more. I could sit in a dark room all alone and eat a box of those donuts all by myself, and maybe one day I will! read more

Was going to get a donut but changed my mind after seeing some flies in the pastry display case. Lady at counter couldn't understand us well due to a language barrier. Otherwise, they have a wide selection of interesting pastries. read more

I came here for the first time today. I got the tuna sandwich with croissant it was amazing! The owner is very nice. I will com back here again. read more

Great donuts and they open at 4am. Haven't tried any of there hot food but it looks good. Will have to grab a sandwich on day

New Owner sucks!!! The previous owner was so much sweeter and cheerful. This new owner doesn't know what their doing and lack of English.

This place should close, entered to find the place (what seemed to me) empty, not of customers (which it was) but of employees, spent like 3 minutes knocking on counter, calling for someone, to see in the back an older lady with headphones looking at the table in front of her. When she finally saw me, came up, when I asked if what was displayed was all they had she seemed not to understand me. The counter for display only had 1/3 with donuts. The complex stuff nobody buys was there but none of the common dinuts. When asked if they were making more again played at not understanding me, still one headphone in 1 ear read more

Wife asked me what I wanted from here for breakfast as she was heading out. Tried to look up their menu online but the website is down. Annoying. Fortunately the pics from other Yelpers of various food items helped me choose. I've been here a couple of times before, the donuts are pretty good but the food portions are a little on the small side and there's apparently somewhat of a language barrier if you don't mention something that's actually on the menu. One time I asked for hash browns.. confusion.. potatoes.. more confusion.. what type of potato? Then a sad shaking of the head. We don't have any. And yet I see home fries in one of the Yelp pics. Anyway, it's an okay option for breakfast but a better option for dessert. read more

Everything you could want in a donut shop. Excellent quality, clean, friendly, priced right, easy parking. Super nice owners

The doughnuts are awesome. the breakfast burrito is ok at best, the bagel was pretty good. If it were just doughnuts, then this place def deserves to be rated 9/10 no problem. ill come back again though. we'll get certain things here tough. read more

This is the best donut shop in Arizona. These people are always so nice to ny family when we buy donuts. They even give my 6 year old a couple free donut holes when we order a dozen donuts. Try this place once and you will be addicted. read more
